In recognition of Veterans Day, CDCR proudly introduces the new veteran patch, authorized for all staff who have served in the US military.
This patch will be worn throughout November, serving as a visible symbol of their dedication and service.
Additionally, we invite all military veterans to wear their earned medals throughout the month.
Non-uniformed staff are welcome to display their medals on their work attire.
This initiative is a meaningful way to celebrate and honor the contributions of our veteran staff within the CDCR community.
This November, veterans can proudly wear the patch and medals while encouraging others to do the same. Together, we honor the sacrifices made for our freedoms.
A memorandum authorizing the patch was issued Aug. 21.
“Effective Nov. 1, 2024, uniformed staff are authorized to purchase and wear the U.S.
Veteran patches on approved uniforms annually during the month of November. For custody
staff, patches shall be sewn on approved uniforms in accordance with the 2024 Uniform
Specification Handbook and shall be removed each year prior to Dec. 1,” the memo states.
To all our veterans, we say thank you for your service.
